So you want to get to your side-markers to replace a bulb or the entire unit. This is a simple quick guide to doing so.

(as with anything, follow this with your own risk, I take no responsibility for damage or injury, and full responsibility for making this the easiest process it can be)

Tools needed:
Screwdriver
T20 Bit




Step 1:
Turn your wheels to the opposite side you will be working on, allowing room to access three screws.



Step 2:
Remove said screws.



Step 3:
Next, look under the vehicle, directly under the plastic fender well you removed the 3 screws from, in front of the tire and locate the small "aero panel" and remove both screws from it.





Step 4:
You are now able to pull the fender well back a little bit, enough that you can reach in and press the clip to release the lense.









Step 5:
Re-install the lense by applying light pressure and allowing it to clip into place. Reverse the steps, being sure to line up all holes starting with the small "aero panel" and reinstall the 5 screws.

Step 6:
Crack open a frosty beverage and savor in the fact you spent >5 minutes, removed 5 screws and completed your goal.:eek:ccasion14:

Im sure you could do that, but like you said im afraid it would put too much stress on the clips. To be honest, the quality of these aren't the greatest. I got them cheap because they had a broken clip. Call me paranoid but they dont feel as well built as the stockers. I've got a project in the works, stay tuned!

Its not even necessary to remove the screws under the front bumper. Its possible to save 5 minutes and just remove the 3 screws from the fender well and reach in to release the lense.
It's not technically necessary to remove ANY screws to do this. As for the additional >5 minutes, I like the skin on my wrists/arms. Lol.
